逐步解决收入分配差距过大的问题,其原则和政策被明确写入了“十一五规划”建议之中。而个税改革的法律措施及争议,正是在这一背景下展开“中国的贫富差距已经到了不容忽视的地步。”新近出版的英国《金融时报》援引联合国开发计划署官员的话这样说。该署刚刚公布的一份发展报告中提到,中国反映财富分配均衡状态的基尼指数已经超过0．4。而根据一般的国际标准,基尼指数一旦超过0．45就将有可能引发社会动荡。 To gradually solve the problem of too big a gap in income distribution, its principles and policies have been explicitly written into the “Eleventh Five-year Plan” proposal. It is against this backdrop that the legal measures and controversies over the reform of the tax system have made it a point that “the gap between the rich and the poor in China has reached a point where it can not be ignored,” the recently published Financial Times quoted officials of the United Nations Development Program as saying. A development report just released by the department mentions that the Gini index in China reflecting a balanced distribution of wealth has exceeded 0.4. According to common international standards, the Gini index of more than 0.45 will likely trigger social unrest.
